Chapter 35: An Interesting Struggle

After a few days of clear skies, Yan Jiujiu's irritable mood gradually softened, she stood at the school gate and waited quietly for Jack Butler, the students who walked through the school gate together talked and laughed, she greeted intermittently, the corners of her lips unconsciously hooked, in this sunny day, it looked even more dazzling.

"Lily!" stood a gentleman in a black suit across the school gate, waving his hand.

Yan Jiujiu looked at the gentleman waving his hand in her direction, she subconsciously looked at her side, and saw that she was the only one around to stop, and immediately seemed to remember something, took a step forward, and walked towards the handsome figure that was walking towards her.

"Charles!" Yan Jiujiu tilted his head, smiled brightly, and said, "Glad.to.meet.you!But.whatcha.doing.here?"

"It's been a long time since I've seen you, how about inviting you to swim the Thames again today?" Charles smiled slightly, "but I have to say that your English teacher is very responsible." ”

Yan Jiujiu's face turned crimson, and he said with a smile: "I won't show ugliness in front of you, anyway, if you say so, it means that I have passed the test!

"How wonderful, no matter how strange it is, that thrilling chance encounter by the Thames," Charles shrugged, quite hippie.

Yan Jiujiu couldn't help but laugh at his sudden expression, but found that this remark was meaningful.

"At first, I was scared by the thief, but then when you subdued him, I felt that the thief was nothing, and it was your sturdy and neat skills that really scared me!"

Yan Jiujiu pulled the broken hair from his ear with one hand, and between lowering his eyebrows and raising his eyes, he seemed to have finished telling a story from the past.

"Really?" Charles was a little surprised, he didn't know that Yan Jiujiu had such a deep memory of the righteousness and courage by the river that day, and his fingertips were slightly warmed by the sun, "I was thinking that it would be too abrupt to invite you to dinner today, but now it seems that we have already accumulated a deep friendship." ”

Charles's gentle gentleman's smile seemed to be framed in Yan Jiujiu's pair of watery apricot eyes, and he stared at Yan Jiujiu with a frank smile, just like the waves gently carried by the breeze by the Thames, turning into ripples in circles and circles

Yan Jiujiu was stared at embarrassed by Charles, and his eyes turned unnaturally to other places, "Didn't you say that we would have dinner together?"

Yan Jiujiu turned his head and smiled, the stagnant atmosphere seemed to loosen slightly, "I'm really looking forward to tonight's restaurant!"

Charles didn't notice the change in the atmosphere at all, he smiled slightly, revealing half a row of gallops, stretched out his hand to open the car door, and made a gesture of invitation with great dignity.

Yan Jiujiu bent over and was about to get into the car, but a familiar voice came from behind him, "Qi Xuan!"

"Henry?" These two words flashed in Yan Jiujiu's heart, and she was about to turn around subconsciously after bending over, but unexpectedly bumped her head, "Eh!" she exhaled softly.

The familiar voice had already drifted to his side, Yan Jiujiu turned his head and smashed a fist vigorously, muttering, "It really hurts me to death"

O'Henry rubbed Yan Jiujiu's reddened forehead and said with a smile: "Tell you to run with strangers casually" and turned to Charles again: "Charles, where are you going to take my little princess?"

A pair of pear vortices were gently shallow, and O'Henry gently stroked the wrinkled placket of Yan Jiujiu's punch, like a spring breeze blowing across a rippling lake, without a trace.

O'Henry glanced lightly at his chest, the corners of his lips curled slightly, as if he was still remembering the pink and delicate fist.

Yan Jiujiu seemed to smell a trace of gunpowder, and couldn't help but be surprised in his heart, "Why is there a smell of gunpowder?"

Charles ignored O'Henry's ambiguous and unclear words to declare sovereignty, and said lightly: "Qi Xuan and I are preparing to have dinner together. ”

"Okay, I'm with me, and I'm hungry. He turned to the driver and said, "You wait here for Butler Jack to explain to him that Miss Jin and I will have dinner with Mr. Charles, and I will send Miss Jin back later." ”

O'Henry pulled Yan Jiujiu into the back compartment, and Charles shrugged his shoulders helplessly and got into the driver's seat.

"Charles, I didn't expect you to be able to drive in addition to Chinese and kung fu! It seems that what Princess Victoria said is true, your royal princesses and princes are all outstanding!" Yan Jiujiu tried to ease the embarrassing atmosphere, so he took the lead in speaking.

Charles was noncommittal and said with a smile: "I would have liked to have dinner with you today and then go for a walk by the Thames, and then send you back." But there are always people who like to be saboteurs."

Yan Jiujiu squeezed his eyes and smiled, and secretly glanced at O'Henry, but he didn't expect that O'Henry had actually been secretly watching her every move, and immediately turned his head and stared at Yan Jiujiu with a hazy smile, Yan Jiujiu only felt that the soles of her feet were cold, and she secretly scolded herself: "Did I do something wrong?"

――――――――

Western-style restaurant.

The black pepper steak presents a unique and attractive luster in the soft light, Yan Jiujiu can't wait to fork the small pieces of steak that has just been cut into his mouth, the fragrant sauce combined with the tender steak overflows his lips and teeth in an instant, between chewing, Yan Jiujiu only feels that the roots of her teeth are soft, she took a sip of lemonade vaguely, and only felt unprecedented satisfaction.

"This restaurant is really good, especially this black pepper steak, the flavor of the two main ingredients does not mask each other, but is well combined, which shows that the chef has a unique and experienced control over the amount. After Yan Jiujiu tasted the first piece, he couldn't help but move his index finger, but he still didn't forget to praise it.

Charles put down the knife and fork in his hand and said elegantly: "If you like it, it's fine." It's close to the River Thames, so we can go for a walk along the river when we're done eating. ”

"Okay!"

O'Henry saw that Yan Jiujiu had already forgotten, and immediately took over the conversation, "Okay! I will go for a walk by the river, and I can also recall how we met MK in the first place." ”

"You can also think of the **** fighting with that gangster by the river!" Charles nodded at O'Henry and responded with a smile: "Thank you for that contest, so that I could meet Miss Kim! Henry, Victoria and I have known each other since childhood, I didn't expect us to be so fateful, it turns out that you are by my side!"

Yan Jiujiu already thought that Charles and O'Henry were weird today, but now the words of the two people made her even more confused, and the chewing in her mouth gradually slowed down, and she couldn't help choking on the rich sauce.

"Ahem, cough, cough"

"Are you okay?" said in unison, and the two of them reached out to the lemonade in Yan Jiujiu's hand at the same time, but Yan Jiujiu was faster, she grabbed the crystal cup and took a big sip, and the feeling of being in her throat disappeared with the faint lemon flavor on the tip of her tongue.

She said, "I'll just come by myself."

Immediately, she quietly looked at the two of them with different expressions, and picked up a steak absentmindedly.

She wanted to laugh.
